How Does a Motorised Pergola Awning Work?
A motorised pergola awning is a shading system built on an aluminium structure whose fabric roof opens and closes by electric motor. The cover can be acrylic, polyester, PVC or a waterproof membrane; it runs on a remote control and can be automated with sensors.
The fabric is gathered and extended by motor along a track running between the load-bearing profiles. The structure is made from 6063-T6 grade extruded aluminium with a wall thickness of 2.5–4 mm. Motor life exceeds 50,000 open-close cycles.
Full Control Over the Sun
UV-stabilised fabric blocks 95–99% of harmful rays. With a waterproof membrane the system can also be used in light and moderate rain; the pitched installation stops water pooling on the fabric.
- 95–99% UV block, depending on fabric type
- Water-repellent, mould-resistant fabric, guaranteed against fading
- Integrated gutter drains water inside the columns
- Lower heat gain indoors on the shaded façade in summer

Smart Control
One-touch operation with quiet, powerful tubular motors. Stop the awning at any opening with the remote, wall switch or smartphone app, and dim the recessed LED lighting.
Wind Sensor
Wind resistance when open is 60–80 km/h. The wind sensor retracts the awning automatically once a set speed is exceeded — the add-on we recommend most, because it prevents damage while you are away.

Solid Aluminium Construction
Non-corroding, powder-coated extruded aluminium profiles stand up to harsh weather and corrosion. Every project receives a structural calculation, documented in a report.

A motorised pergola awning project: from installation to handover
Installing a motorised pergola awning on a commercial terrace: erecting the aluminium structure, fitting the fabric roller and the finished system with recessed LED lighting at dusk.
What the video shows
- 1The load-bearing aluminium structure is erected on site; columns and beams arrive cut to size.
- 2The roller carrying the fabric and the track profile are mounted onto the structure — this is the moving part of the system.
- 3The fabric is drawn taut onto the track and set up to extend and retract by motor.
- 4The LED strips recessed into the profiles are commissioned; on commercial terraces this is what makes evening use possible.
How many metres of awning does your space need?
During the free survey we take the measurements, decide fabric and automation together, and price it item by item.

Which Awning Fabric Suits You?
The fabric decides both the price and how the space can be used. If you only want shade, acrylic or mesh will do; if you want to use the area in the rain, a waterproof membrane is the right choice.
Advantages of a Motorised Pergola Awning
A motorised awning is a more economical shading solution than a bioclimatic pergola and blocks 95–99% of UV. With a waterproof membrane it also provides rain protection.
When an awning, when a bioclimatic pergola?
If the space is used mainly in summer and for shade, a motorised awning is both sufficient and more economical. If it will be used on rainy days too, the bioclimatic pergola — watertight when closed — is the right choice.

- Lower investment than a bioclimatic system
- Effective sun protection with 95–99% UV block
- Rain protection when a waterproof membrane is chosen
- 100 km/h wind resistance in the closed position
- 6–7 metre width and projection in a single span
- Automation with wind, sun and rain sensors
- 5-year warranty on the motor, fabric and powder coating

How Is the Price of a Motorised Pergola Awning Set?
A motorised pergola awning cannot be priced from a ready list; size, fabric quality, level of automation and installation conditions differ in every project. Two installations of the same area can cost noticeably differently because of profile section and access difficulty.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorised Pergola Awnings
What is the difference between a motorised awning and a bioclimatic pergola?
A bioclimatic pergola has a roof of aluminium louvres that forms a watertight surface when closed. On a motorised awning the roof is fabric, gathered by motor. The awning costs less; the bioclimatic system is more durable and superior in terms of watertightness.
How long does the awning fabric last?
The fabric is UV-stabilised, water-repellent and mould-resistant, and is covered against fading. The fabric warranty is 5 years; in practice its life is longer, depending on use. Retracting and storing it dry at the end of the season extends its life noticeably.
Do I need to retract the awning in wind?
Yes. Wind resistance is 60–80 km/h when open and 100 km/h when closed. With a wind sensor fitted, the awning retracts automatically once the set speed is exceeded. We strongly recommend the sensor, as it prevents damage when nobody is at home.
How long does the motor last?
The tubular motors used have a life beyond 50,000 open-close cycles. On a system operated twice a day that corresponds to decades. The motor and mechanical parts carry a 5-year warranty.
Can you sit under the awning in the rain?
With a waterproof membrane fabric, yes, in light and moderate rain. The system is installed at a pitch to stop water pooling on the fabric, and we recommend retracting it in heavy rain. If full rain protection is what you need, a bioclimatic pergola is more suitable.
What width can be covered?
A single span can reach 6–7 metres in width with the same projection. Wider areas are built modularly with intermediate columns. The exact dimension is set by structural calculation against ground conditions and local wind load.
